No, Scott. You are in error. One of the secondary meanings attached to "epskope" (actually Episkoph) can be bishop. But its primary translation is "office" or...
... ***************Les replies No, Scott. Again I don't have to. It's your assertion that ordination is necessary to celebrate the Eucharist. This requirement...
Hi Scott, This is from Sat Jul 26, but for some reason I'm having dicfficulty resending it, so I'll simply retype it, The Profession of Faith Prescribed for...
... You're drawing at straws here Les. The meaning of episkope IS "bishop," or the "office of (bishop)." All your attempts to avoid this are not working. Look...

No Les, do not "move right along" just yet. You're STILL operating from a false premise. The OFFICE of the BISHOP is CLEARLY referenced in Acts 1. You do not...
I cannot say, for sure, that this is "the first" such declaration - but you keep missing the point, Les. You have not demonstrated ANYWHERE that the Church...

No, Scott. You can call a member of a group "Colonel" but, unless there's an army, he's not really a colonel. He is at best the leader. Same story with early...
